LSJ's argument is this: when Kemintiri is playing a card requiring a justicar, that card treats her as being a justicar. That's why Closed Session lets her vote. (I found this very unintuitive because I had
thought of Closed Session as applying an effect to the duration of the referendum, not an effect resolving immediately - and it has to apply
its effect immediately on being played for it to treat Kemintiri as a justicar. But I can't see any problems with it working the way Scott is obviously reading it, so I'll have to revise my intution on Closed
Session. :-)
Sorry. I was just thinking in terms of "as played" and "while in
play". I wasn't thinking about the extended duration effects, a topic
which had already been covered in the "as a vampire" suite.
Your intuition is correct.
Kem plays Closed Session as a Camarilla justicar, but no longer
qualifiers as either a justicar or a Camarilla during the
polling, so the Closed Session will exclude her.
(Reversal of previous ruling)
For reference, this ruling has been REVERSED by the 7/7/7 RTR
